Torch Coral

I just bought a torch coral...where in the tank should I place it? Is there anything I should becareful about? I know they have to be sepereated from other corals...right?

 

depends on your lighting, they can sting, right. did you do any homework before buying this one?

~Will.

 

You could really put it any where as you lighting is not to stong. I would keep it away from all other corals but it would be fine next to other torches and frogspawns and things of the same type

 

Current should be just so you see it waving a bit, if they have strong current they wont open all the way. Keep it away from other stuff, my understanding is its pretty agressive and ive seen sweepers on mine 8" long in the middle of the night. I love my torch, when I bought it had 5 heads, two died within the first two months and in the last 6 months 2 of the other heads have split... about 3 in the afternoon its about 10" around open and mostly closes up at night. I have t5's and its about 1/3 the way up.
Hope that helps,
Tom

 

Ya i did some homework iwill, but I didnt do 100% of it. I forgot to say, and uhm..how often should I direct feed it? and also can it sting ppl? Is it dangerous?

 

On the bottom, low flow, and at least double the length of it's tentacles from any other coral.

 

With compact lighting, it should still go to the bottom? Like can i place it on sand bed area? I notice if i turn off all the flow, my torch coral tentical just droops down..is this normal.

 

you don't NEED to feed it..i have tried feeding mine a few times..i'm not sure it ever really ate anything..the only euphyllia that i can get to eat brine or mysis is my cristata..but even then..it's not 100% necessary

 

my lfs told me i need to feed it every day. Now im confused

 

i bet they sold you some food as well.
